Sand Castles #281



Sand Castles

Sand castles built, left long ago
within the silt of ocean's flow,
have disappeared and now we know
what's gone shall never last.
The tides that came have brought us here
to gaze upon another year
and watch we did as things thought near
went fading into past.
Where are the days that once we knew
still held us close and made us new?
Could they have vanished in here too
where all our dreams are cast?
And digging deep within the core
of all that was and was once more,
I saw what had been seen before--
The pieces here amassed.
Familiar ways -- Familiar strains
beheld all here within our brains,
though scavenged through, still lost, remains
within our oceans vast--
Sand castles that won't last.
